Идеологията и невъзможната й трансформация в масово комерсиално изкуство при социализма

Author(s): Angelina Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 5/2019

Тhe decade of 1944-1954 marked a prominent rise of the mass-song, which became a major ideological genre. It is a genre-product that performs the ideological, state and public order of the Communist Party in tune with cultural engineering. It embodies the economy of socialist production of culture: provision with contractions at all levels, realization through sponsored state chambers, secured by contractions with state institutions in a hierarchical state order. The mass-song is created in the system of state socialized art of socialism designed by the civil engineering of socialism. Still, something prevents it from growing into commercial art - it hinders its ideological, adaptive, traumatic nature, offsetting anger and fears. Its disharmonious duality is the cause of its crisis after a decade of generously sponsored development. In the party papers officially published by the Union of Composers in 1954 and then (1956, 1958) instead of a succession of successes and conquests of a broad audience, in the mass-song, a collapse, poor performance, a crisis. In the 1970s, this led to its encapsulation.

Музикантите като фенове на публиката. Образи на концертната публика и медийната аудитория

Author(s): Zhana Popova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2019

The research of the media publications and TV shows after 1989 with the participation of a certain group of musicians - the artists making Estrada - shows that there is an area where the power of the audience is a necessity that preserves the power of the author. The Estrada musicians describe their audience as a ‘good person’ or a child, they need to teach how to recognize valuable music. In the period 1990 - 2017 the musicians draw a couple of key images of the audience: the weddings audience, the parents and the child in the audience, the supranational symbol, the constantly reminded image of the “phenomenon soviet audience”. A key finding of the research is that the musicians clearly distinguish between “concert audience” and “media audience” as imaginary communities.

When Masonry Destroyed Romanian Wooden Churches.

Author(s): Aurora Petronela Luca / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2019

L’histoire des églises en bois des communautés roumaines du comté d’Alba peut être synthétisée par les statistiques suivantes : près de deux-cent lieux de culte ont été identifiés, dont cent-quarante-cinq ont disparu, pour diverses raisons. Habituellement, si la disparition était la con-séquence d’une calamité, le plus souvent une incendie, et si l’événement avait eu lieu avant le xixe siècle, la nouvelle église était par la suite reconstruite à nou-veau en bois. Cependant, plus de quatre-vingt-dix églises en bois (voire cent-trente d’après d’autres estimations) ont été détruites et remplacées par des églises bâties. Ce vaste programme d’édification a commencé au milieu du xviiie siècle dans les Carpates Occidentales (Apuseni) et autour de la ville de Blaj. L’apogée se situe entre les der-nières décennies du xixe siècle et les premières décennies du xxe siècle. Cela justifie le peu d’informations dispo-nibles sur leur disparition. L’histoire de chaque édifice s’explique à travers plusieurs cas de figure: églises vendues intégralement à d’autres paroisses ; églises désaffectées, le matériel étant vendu ou transformé en combustible pour alimenter les fours utilisées dans la fabrication des briques nécessaires à la construction d’une nouvelle église ; églises abandonnées, disparues discrètement après une période plus ou moins longue. Plus, des deux tiers des quel-ques deux-cent églises en bois de l’actuel comté d’Alba ont été victimes de la modernisation et du progrès de la société roumaine transylvanienne, très pré-coce dans cette région administrative, bien avant l’union de la Tran-sylvanie à la Roumanie. Quant à la situation des quarante-huit communautés qui possèdent encore des églises en bois, vingt d’entre-elles fréquentent en réalité des églises bâties, les églises en bois étant abandonnées, depuis plu-sieurs décennies, dans un état de dégradation avancé. Trente-six édifices sont inscrits sur la liste des monuments historiques, parmi lesquels se trouvent également six bâtiments entièrement ou principalement rénovés et deux églises disparues. Dans le présent article, afin de donner une image plus précise du phénomène de réduction dras-tique du nombre d’églises en bois au profit du bâti, celles-ci sont présentées dans l’ordre de leur disparition. Quel-ques informations relatives à la période de construction, à la peinture pariétale et aux ob-jets de culte sont égale-ment fournies lorsque nous avons pu recueillir les données nécessaires. Le tableau final permet d’avoir une image de l’ampleur des pertes subies par l’histoire de la culture et par l’histoire de l’art, voire par le patrimoine national

Достъпът на хора с увреждания до програмите на аудиовизуалните доставчици на медийни услуги – задължение и демократична ценност

Author(s): Diliana Kirkovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

Audiovisual media services providers play informational, educational, social, cultural roles and therefore it is of extreme importance all parts of their programmes to be easy of reach for every consumer. At high level that is to be obligatory for people with specific difficulties of usage of the media, such as the visually and hearing impaired persons/blind or deaf –TV media content should be naturally accessible via various tools and no extra charge. At high extend the legislation in Bulgaria is appropriate and well prescribed but in practice that presentation is out of time and humiliatingly small in quantity and access tools.The media providers should deliver to that specific part of the audience full access to their programmes by using different approaches – the sign-language translation, audiodescriptions and audiosubtitles, subtitles in multiplex platforms, as well as news scrolls as an alternative tool. That is a mark of the democratic society – not to exclude that part of the public but on the contrary – the visually and hearing impaired persons should get media content at ease anytime and anywhere.
